The Mont Belvieu Police Department needed some help, so its office rang up the Baytown Police Department.
The decision paid off. On Wednesday, the MBPD posted this note to the the organization’s Facebook page.
“MBPD would like to thank members of the Baytown Police Department, TX’s “Special Operations” team for their assistance. An illegally operated business was uncovered yesterday, in the 9500 block of SH 146. As a result, two females were arrested, and charged with prostitution.”
In addition, the post said that the “MBPD is currently working with the City’s Code Enforcement Division to address zoning violations, which in turn, along with the other charges, will result in the closing of this business.”

A spokesperson from the Baytown Police Department said that while two women were arrested, only the woman accused performing sexual favors in exchange for money was charged with a single count of prostitution. Her name and photo were not immediately available.
The other woman was eventually released and not charged.
The BPD spokesperson said that the situation came about because several individuals had called to to complain about the massage parlor.
The BPD spokesperson also said that both the Baytown Police and Mont Belvieu are continuing to gather information about the business where the incident took place, including the individual or individuals who own the establishment.
Right now, the identity of that person or persons is not known.
